I hadn't experienced that before with CentOS but then again, I haven't tried running puppet (yet) or puppet-master (not likely) on CentOS.
Anyway, I have gotten (per list suggestion) Puppet Pro (James, you are a god)[1] and will read through thoroughly before I try to figure out Dashboard because even though Dashboard is up and running now, it isn't entirely clear how to make it functional yet. Downloading Dashboard and installing it did create some 'rack' issues (apparently 1.0.1 is bundled w/ Dashboard and had to be removed and references fixed) Thanks Craig [1] actually to give credit to James is not meant to slight Luke, Nigel or any of the developers who have created an incredibly awesome toolset in any way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
